Though at the time I don't remember any other email clients that did that either! :P While I think a warning is definitely important thanks to idiot users and idiot operating system flaws like extensions (nobody has started a hates topic on those yet?) the whole "block it all" approach is downright stupid. That said, I always enable it on friend and family's computers. I'd rather they can't open any attachments than having to go fix their damn computers every couple of days. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/There's stuff above here
